I'm a graduate!!!

Today was graduation, and it was one of the best experiences I've had. It was wonderful! The Spirit was strong in the graduation ceremony and I felt such joy. Here are a few photos of my day. There are lots more up on Facebook if you want to check out more. I had an amazing Tongan family adopt me at graduation, (friends of my family) who gave me beautiful leis and lots of love. I'm so grateful for them and all that they did for me, and even more grateful for all that my parents and family have done for me. I also very much enjoyed time with Brooke and her parents, they kindly took me out with them to lunch, and it was great! They are awesome, and I love my roomie Brooke! It's so crazy to think that I'm not a student, it's such a weird feeling. I have loved my amazing experiences here in Hawaii, I love the people, school, culture, island, and the ocean. But I'm excited for whatever's next in my life too, and seeing my family next week!

The Day After Tomorrow...

Today I took my last final, and it felt SOOOO good to be done with college! It's still weird to think about, I think it will hit me again that I'm really done when I walk at graduation this Saturday. I am so excited to move to my next stage in life! I'm not sure all what will happen and when, but I know things will work out how they're meant to if I do what I'm supposed to. I'll be home in Arizona in less than a week!

Easter!

Brooke and I dyed eggs together on Easter Sunday! We had a fun time, and one of my favorites was one that I made into a "graduation egg" since Brooke and I are graduating this week! Earlier in the day I had lunch with my ward, which is one of our General Conference traditions. Before and after the egg decorating I watched General Conference, and it was so wonderful! I really enjoyed the talks and connected a lot with some of them, and felt the Spirit of the Lord multiple times. I am so thankful for modern revelation from our Heavenly Father, He really does love us!

Waimea Rock

Here's me jumping off of Waimea Rock one last time before leaving, at one of my favorite beaches, in Waimea Bay. Brooke jumped off of it for the first time, after I jumped. Go Brooke!!! :)

Mixed Fun

Here are some mixed photos of me and my friends during the past few weekends or so, I'm going to miss them when I go home next week!

Graduation

Wow... crazy to think that it's come already... on this Saturday, in four days, I'm going to graduate from college! :) I'm so excited! It's been an incredible experience here at BYU-H, I love Hawaii so much.

Sunrise

I decided I needed to go see the sunrise at least once at "The Point" in Laie before I leave, so I went on Saturday. It was so beautiful! It happened to be the same day that the missionaries of the area decided to go see it too, so I got to take some photos for them. My favorite missionary, Sister Cutler, was there as well and it was so fun to see her again. We enjoyed the beautiful early morning.
